Yes, early
experience of NSDAP success (with its 25pt plan) in mobilizing at time of
economic crisis; Hitler becomes celebrity because of Trial (a hero to
nationalists though mocked by others); failure in violent Putsch defines
subsequent legal and electoral strategy of pitching NSDAP as catch-all party
above politics, even as SA continues to engage in street violence with KPD.

- Mein Kampf reflects what Hitler has learned

6. German Malaise with
Socio-

Economic Modern-ization

Economy survives crisis but must continue to undergo
economic modernization (urbanization, industrialization and other dislocating
shifts to mass economy)

7. Negative reactions
to cultural modern-ization in the form of the ‘Golden
Twenties’

Widespread reaction against modern popular-commercial
developments, and ‘golden’ artistic products -- in architecture (Bauhaus), art (expressionism,
Dadaism, cubism, etc), music (Jazz etc) -- deemed ‘ugly,’ as well as against lifestyles
(secularism, cosmopolitanism gender equality, sexual freedom, hedonism) felt
to be ‘degenerate’, both of which are associated with democratic freedom and
equality (1918-33)

Hitler and several of the other Nazi elite figures are
themselves artists or architects
and hence are very explicit from the onset about restoring German folk art.

Yes – commercial
facades are unsettling (Roth) and some of the new art is against traditional
religious and conventional bourgeois M-class ethics and aesthetics.

-
NSDAP rallies and directs M-class aesthetic disorientation

-
eg. effectivesocial mobilization around Schmutz-
und Schundgesetz (Trashy and Dirty literature) resulting in a law known as the
Harmful Publications (Young Persons) Act18 Dec 1926,

-
eg. in
1929 Rosenberg founded the Kampfbundfür deutsche Kultur (Combat
League for German Culture, or KfdK), one of the more
effective Nazi organizations for social mobilization.

8. Jews,
world-Jewry, and the Jew

WRep and all frustrations and failings
of status quo are associated with the success and prominence (in economic,
cultural, and political realms) of scapegoated Jews (be they practicing or
not) (late 1920s)

Available authoritative discourses:

1 religion (9)

2 science: social evolution, eugenics

3 criminology

4 sexual anxieties

Yes, role of AS
political agitators - only local before WW1 but becomes national with access
to media under WRep

legacy of super-cessionist critique of Judaism and figure of the Eternal
Wandering Jew doomed by God, eg St Chrysostom

- Protestant legacy
of Luther esp in Germany as prophetic, nationalist
and AS figure

Yes, churches
remained critical of WRep, supported Hitler and the
NSDAP in various ways, esp so begg
in 1933, and did so in ways that were explicitly anti-Judaism, and arguably
also AS.

- Catholic Center Party central in almost all Weimar coalition
governments but resented for it by Protestant nationalists and NSDAP

10. Crises upon
crises

Great Depression in US prompts withdrawal of capital from
Germany and resulting severe economic depression that required policy
solutions that were in turn severe (cutting welfare supports, raising taxes),
all of which polarized or radicalized the dissatisfied electorate (1929on)

The growing opposition to WRep appeared
more cohesive than status quo oriented ineffectual
parties and govt

Yes, loss of
political legitimacy

- Left-Center declines: as a result of gaps between SPD,
Centre and DVP, DDP and other liberal groups, coalitions always struggled to
generate coherent policies, and esp so after 1929

- rise of the Right:

1. NSDAP party overhaul (1925-28)

2. Radicalization of the DNVP – towards NSDAP and
anti-dem

3. Hindenburg, was anti-dem enough to use article 48 increasingly.

No

NSDAP has first notable electoral success in 1928 before
Depression and was arguably mobilizing rapidly anyway by claiming to be above
party/partisan politics, and thereby encompassing the spectrum from
nationalist to socialist.
